I would like to convert .doc into plain text - i have opened the doc - how can i transfer the text to my m.txt file? Perhaps there is a more direct route than the one i have started.

many thanks
k

objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
objWord.Documents.Open ("C:\mydirectory\mydata.doc")
objWord.visible = .F.

??? move text to m.txt

modify file m.txt
